Nebraska Attorney General Mike Hilgers says his office has filed a complaint against a company called Nfluence for selling bogus Husker football ticket packages. The complaint alleges that, beginning in June of 2022, Nfluence advertised, offered for sale and sold a product called The Nebraska Game Day Experience.
Hilgers says it offered fans an opportunity to watch a Husker game at Memorial Stadium in a luxury suite with former University of Nebraska football players. Part of the proceeds were supposed to benefit non-profits associated with the former players.
The complaint alleges that consumers paid at least $1,000 dollars to purchase the game day experience and were promised additional perks. Hilgers believes Nfluence violated the Consumer Protect Act and the Uniform Deceptive Trade Practices Act by misleading and causing financial harm to consumers from Nebraska and other states.
He says Nfluence took advantage of Nebraskans’ charitable nature and desire to support the football team. “Nfluence took their money, used it for non-charitable purchases and failed to provide the suite tickets.
